The equilibrium has accelerated over the past few months, and the current world has reached the end of February.

Greystone Island.

Snow Girl was writing the test paper when Zhou Li'an received a call from Barbara and learned that several factories and workshops had completed their merger with the Balance Group.

In terms of normal work speed, it is considered efficient.

Unfortunately, the two spaces flow at an uneven pace, and the current world is obviously slowing down a bit.

"We are in contact with two mining machinery equipment manufacturers and power generation equipment manufacturers. The preliminary investigation and resource integration may take a month, and the actual completion of the merger and acquisition may not be until the next quarter."

Zhou Li'an felt helpless.

In the blink of an eye, the equilibrium lasted for three months, but in this world, it has to wait until April to achieve results. When it comes to placing an equipment order, it cannot be completed in less than ten days and a half.

Fortunately, at this stage, the balanced cavalry is sweeping across the continent, and the migration of various tribes is also an extremely long process.

All Zhou Li'an can do is to plan ahead and let the current resources support him to catch up as much as possible.

Prepare for a rainy day instead of waiting for demand and then hastily placing an order.

"Speed ​​up the action."

"In addition, do the two pharmaceutical companies under Hejian have vaccine production capabilities?"

The official shareholding was balanced, and two pharmaceutical companies and an aviation equipment processing factory were merged.

Of course, Lao Mo couldn't be so kind as to give money away.

The three companies are all in a half-dead state, barely operating, and their integration into Equilibrium is actually to revitalize the factories, ensure employment, and prevent the loss of capital due to bankruptcy.

In short, I found a taker.

When they agreed to this move, Zhou Li'an and Cayero both wanted to give the official "face."

The latter wanted a legal identity to clear his way ashore, and the official approach caught Cayero's hand so well that he couldn't refuse.

For Zhou Li'an, these three companies are exactly what he wants.

Taking advantage of the situation, I got entry tickets into the pharmaceutical and aviation equipment industries.

It doesn't matter if the company is small or low-level, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can always grow step by step and get the technical resources you want.

Therefore, Zhou Li'an was not surprised when Barbara gave a negative reply.

"They do not have biomedical processing technology, they are just assembly factories for medical equipment..."

Zhou Li'an said: "Inject capital. I have a large number of orders for medicine and vaccines. I don't want to do this business for others."

Barbara was a little confused when she heard this, "Are you opening a new production line for an order?"

The implication is that I made a pot of dumplings just for this bottle of vinegar... Boss, are you sure that the profit from your order can allow the group to recover the capital injection cost?

"The first batch of orders includes 1 million doses of various virus prevention vaccines, including basic vaccines such as chickenpox, hepatitis B, and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis..."

After saying that, Zhou Li'an added, "I don't want the crown."

The balanced space-time has itself in charge, so who dares to play a virus war? As long as there is no research, there will be no flooding!

Under equilibrium, America is gone.

Barbara gasped, "Boss, do you mean the order volume is tens of millions of doses?"

"No." Zhou Li'an smiled lightly, "The first batch of tens of millions of doses, this is just the first batch!"

"You don't have to worry about where you are going, I will naturally have channels to digest it."

Barbara was silent for a moment, then stopped delving into further details and said, "If this is the case, the new production line may need to sign a purchase intention order. After all, it is directional production..."

Zhou Li'an said nonchalantly: "Sign it, you help me set up a new company as the purchaser."

"..." Barbara was speechless.

Who knows what the boss is up to?

Where can such a large dose of vaccine be put for digestion?

It is impossible to really donate to poverty alleviation in Africa.

then.

Not long after the two hung up the phone, Salvador called, "Mr. Zhou, are you free tonight? Mr. Cayero invites you to have dinner."

Needless to say, Barbara should have informed Jonah and David Liang. As soon as they proposed the new production line plan, Cayero was naturally alarmed.

"Then see you tonight." Zhou Li'an agreed decisively.

7pm.

Leaving Xue Nu alone at home, Zhou Li'an went to the banquet.

The security system of Greystone Island is intact, so there is no need to worry about the safety of the snow girl. Furthermore, even if Cayero is given some courage, he would not dare to send someone to come uninvited.

Arrive at the mansion on Cayero Island.

After sitting down with warm greetings, we got straight to the point. What we were talking about was the vaccine production line.

Barbara didn’t know her boss’s ‘terrible background’.

Cayero completed his own brainstorming in the afternoon before waiting for the dinner——

"So, Mr. Zhou, the sales channel for our new production line is Dongfang?"

The first batch of orders is tens of millions, where else can we digest it?

Basic vaccines are urgently needed. Except for those remote areas in Africa, most countries in the world have designated many basic vaccines as medical benefits for citizens and provide free injections.

In Cayero's view, this move is to deliver orders, revitalize the Balance Group, make it stronger and bigger step by step, and penetrate Mexico.

Zhou Li'an smiled, with a mysterious expression that said, "It's fine if everyone is tacitly understanding."

Caiello asked no more questions.

After the dinner, it seemed like nothing was discussed, but in fact, all it took was Zhou Li'an's acquiescence and everything would be fine.

In most people's minds, vaccines are expensive, which is also true, but the expensive component lies in the payment for knowledge.

Taking the 1950s as an example, the process of domestic self-development of smallpox vaccines was difficult. Foreign countries had already mastered mature sterile inactivated vaccines. However, if they wanted to popularize injections on a large scale in China, the amount of foreign exchange required to purchase them was astronomical.

Therefore, at that time, domestically produced vaccines contained bacteria and were unfortunately legal...

Therefore, it is understandable in business terms that the knowledge payment invested in early research is included in the calculation.

But now, the technical threshold for the basic vaccine that Zhou Li'an wants is very low.

Let’s present it with a simple example.

Domestic diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine is free for citizens, but when injecting babies, some hospitals will give double choices...

Domestic = free.

Import = 100 yuan per dose.

As a parent, of course, I will not save 100 yuan for my children. I will only think about the advantages of being expensive and spend more money to buy psychological comfort.

And for hospitals...

You taste it, you taste it carefully.

In fact, DPT vaccine technology has long been very mature.

Under the circumstances that domestic policies do not allow for higher selling prices, the cost of a vaccine of the same technology and level as imported vaccines is only about 4 yuan;

The profit is minimal, and the money comes with medical financial burdens.

But even so, the sales volume is still far lower than the imported 100-yuan dose of Diphtheria.

As a result, the number of domestic manufacturers producing the vaccine is only in single digits.

Where can I reason from this?

The Hexiong Group introduced production line technology just to avoid the knowledge payment of leading pharmaceutical companies. The threshold for basic vaccine technology has been leveled, so why give money to foreign devils?

You know, calculated based on the balanced pre-vaccination population base...

Nearly one million natives of North America are about to submit to the Equilibrium.

This is the first batch of orders for tens of millions of doses of various vaccines.

In the future, there will be tens of millions of people in South America, and the number of vaccine orders needed will be hundreds of millions of doses. If we really want to purchase it from other companies, the money spent will be absolutely astronomical.

Now, with the balance of self-production and self-sales, and the profit dividends of Zhou Li'an, the major shareholder, as a discount offset, the cost price can be compressed to the extreme.

But even if the vaccine production line is online, there is still a problem...

Smallpox vaccine cannot be produced.

This virus was the most deadly in the equilibrium time and space of the 15th century.

At the end of the 20th century, smallpox was declared completely extinct, and various countries destroyed smallpox vaccines to prevent the virus from spreading again.

However, there are always some people with evil intentions who want to have reservations and store smallpox virus strains on the grounds of scientific research.

Of course, when all countries see this situation, they will also keep something secret.

Related conspiracy theories aside…

The practical problem before us is that it is impossible to produce a smallpox vaccine today. First, there is no source of virus samples. Second, it is impossible for any country or region to allow manufacturers to produce inactivated smallpox vaccines "without reason."

The fear is that it will spread again and then mutate in various ways.

So what Zhou Li'an can look forward to now is balanced and rapid development.

It was necessary to reach the level of homemade vaccine before the colonists brought the smallpox virus from Europe.

We also need to find a way to travel to Europe to retrieve virus samples for vaccine production.
To be continued...
